With tensions still high at schools around the nation in the three weeks since the Parkland, Fla., school shooting, Georgetown officials spent Wednesday afternoon dealing with a threat at Penn Brook Elementary School.

Fortunately, the threat has been deemed "not credible."

"After school today, we were informed about a threat to the school of a shooting tomorrow," Superintendent Carol Jacobs posted on the School Department’s website Wednesday evening. "We immediately contacted the Georgetown Police Department and they immediately conducted a thorough investigation. After reviewing all of the evidence, they determined that the threat was not credible and school is safe for students tomorrow."

Jacobs added that she, Penn Brook Principal Margaret Maher will continue to monitor the situation and that "as a mother and the Superintendent, I share that concern. However, I want to assure you that we take any threat seriously in order to keep our schools safe. If you have any questions, please let me know."

Georgetown Police Chief Donald Cudmore reiterated that the town’s schools are deemed safe but his department will remain vigilant.

"The Georgetown Police Department takes school safety very seriously and immediately conducted a thorough investigation," Georgetown Police Chief Donald Cudmore said in a statement Thursday. "The results of that investigation indicated that this was nothing more than a rumor and that no student had made a credible threat against the Penn Brook School, the students or any other school in Georgetown."

Cudmore added that similar rumors have arisen in schools all over the country since the Parkland school shooting.

"Out of an abundance of caution, I have continued to direct police officers to work security details outside each school building throughout the Georgetown School District," Cudmore said. "Given the national climate and safety concerns, I feel that this is a prudent use of our resources. The safety and well-being of our children will always come first."
